Introduction
The Cellesse is the result of years of research by
the Philips Personal Care Institute. Having
investigated the causes of cellulite and tested all
the various treatments available, we've now
developed the effective way to fight cellulite
you're looking for.
This booklet explains what causes cellulite and
describes how the Cellesse can help you solve
this typically feminine problem.
Important: Before you start using the appliance,
please take the time to read this booklet
thoroughly (especially the section headed 'Read
carefully before using Cellesse).
Cellulite - a typically feminine problem.
C◗Cellulite is the name given to bumpy, pitted
skin that arises when lumpy fat deposits
situated just under the skin become visible.
Because of its appearance, it's often called
"orange peel skin".
Cellulite only affects certain parts of the body,
particularly the hips, thighs and buttocks.
Cellulite is the result of two things: the mattress-
like structure of women's skin and the tendency
to retain fluid in the body.
C◗The natural mattress-like structure of
women's skin
ENGLISH4

Men and women have different skin structures.
Women's skin naturally has a mattress-like
structure. Fat is deposited in 'pockets' that stand
at right angles to the surface, giving a structure
that resembles a mattress with springs.This
mattress-like structure becomes clearly visible
when the skin is squeezed. As a result of their skin
structure, all women run the risk of developing
cellulite.
C◗Fluid retention
In most cases, the mattress-like structure
becomes visible as a result of excess fluid in the
fat layer.Women tend to retain more fluid than
men, especially in their legs. Excess fluid may
accumulate around the fat cells and cause the
cellulite layer to swell. If this fluid retention is
allowed to continue for months or even years, the
fat deposits may thicken and harden. Eventually
they'll become hard lumps which can be seen on
the surface of the skin even when it's not
squeezed.
When it reaches an advanced stage, cellulite may
be painful when the skin is squeezed or touched.
At that point, cellulite is more difficult to reverse.
At earlier stages, however, its effects can be
considerably reduced.
Cellulite - what can you do about it?
Once developed, cellulite won't disappear or
diminish on its own. On the contrary, it's likely to
ENGLISH 5

increase.The only solution is to make the fight
against cellulite part of your regular personal care
routine and to begin treatment right away, before
the problem gets worse.
The good news is that cellulite can be reduced. It
will never disappear completely, however, and will
return if you stop doing something about it.
The Cellesse: the cellulite massage system
that's been proven to work!
Philips has therefore specially developed the
compact and convenient Cellesse to fight cellulite
in a effective and comfortable way.The Cellesse
gets right down to the cellulite layer within the
skin and can easily be used in the privacy of your
own home.
Cellesse massages the cellulite layer in your skin in
an intensive, pleasant way.This massage mobilises
the excess fluid, which is then removed naturally
by the body through the normal circulation and
lymphatic drainage systems.The result is a
reduction in the bumpiness of the cellulite layer
and therefore a smoother skin.
The Cellesse in action
The Cellesse has been specially developed for
those parts of the body that are prone to cellulite
(thighs, hips and buttocks).The appliance works
ENGLISH6

through a massage system that's been shown in
tests to be highly effective -Vacumotion`.
Vacumotion`works by providing a continuous
lifting and rolling movement, which massages the
cellulite layer in an intensive and pleasurable way.
It consists of two rollers with a suction opening in
between.
C◗The front roller gently picks up the skin and
guides it into the suction bell.
C◗The vacuum lifts the skin even more to form a
fold, enabling the massage to reach the
cellulite layer effectively.
C◗The two rollers, working together, give the
cellulite layer a pleasant and deep massage,
removing the main cause of cellulite - the
excess fluid surrounding the fat cells.The rear
roller then gently guides the skin away.
Following an effective treatment
programme for the best results
We recommend you to use the Cellesse three
times a week, spending 10 - 15 minutes on each
leg each time. Clinical tests have shown that this
type of regular treatment can significantly
smoothen the cellulite layer in the skin within one
month. Naturally, results will vary from individual
to individual, depending on how bad the cellulite
is to start with and on the individual's lifestyle.
